Don't mind me, just testing the brand spankin' new hotlinking protection.

Hmm, it does seem to work. Personally, though, I don't think you should do hotlinking protection because it is annoying and makes the internet sad.

It's only annoying to people who steal your bandwidth and perople who trash their referrer strings, though, and those people deserve it.

Personally, though, I don't think you should do hotlinking protection because it is annoying and makes the internet sad.Ben turned it on because he caught a warez site using his boxart. And I think it should be turned on, I don't see why anyone would directly link to a file on Dream17 instead of going to the site.

It was working yesterday when I tried.

Am I the only one with an intense dislike for Farazpararar or whatever his name is?

Nope. I've been getting really ticked at his increasingly annoying attitude, as well as Plasma's, so I decided to insult them both and pass it off as "replying to MtlAngelus' post": http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=527758&postcount=33

Plasma & Fancypantsy whatever are quite some morons.

Hey don't be making fun of him, I still love Plasma :mad:

***************************
Okay, what's your secret?

Am I the only one with an intense dislike for Farazpararar or whatever his name is?I hadn't read that thread in GD before... I really dislike how Plasma and Faraparza automatically jump on a game programming thread (or just programming for Plasma) and dismiss their work as inferior to theirs, therefore making it crap.

Check the source to find out how to break it :p

Plasma and Faraz have to be the most annoying guys around, nowadays.

Let's not go crazy with flaming like we did a while ago, though. I feel like "the resistance" has given up because we just haven't done anything for a while.

Holy crap. Is this coming out backwards? This is insane. I can't tell. It looks backwards here.
This? I don't even know. This is crazy.

Edit: Nope, it's not backwards when I post! Wow, Unicode Magic! :D

I was able to add a few commas here and there to the first text, but attempting to correct all the grammar didn't work because sometimes, the text would burst into flames and singe the very soul of the monkey.

I feel like writing something crazy in this backwards text, so I will.

One day, in the dark eye of mayhem, there was a tiny child with a lot of money. Undulating from his corpse were three small giraffes who couldn't tell a lemon from a statue of an elephant if they were given too many peanuts to ingest. The child, being only thrity microseconds old and shrinking, had no hams for his poor, unshaven feet. He wasn't about to give up. There was still hope that the giraffes had 60MB of hard drive space to suck on with plungers and vaccuums set to rewind.

"Too many ****ing sausages!" belched the old woman with her eyes bulging crackishly. She ripped her chainsaw and split all the hairs of those supermodels with perfect anuses. "Never again will I stab the hearts of wandering artichokes," smashed her face.

Either way, it's a pretty awesome thing to find sitting on your garden fence.

Though less good news for the scores of sparrows, tits, finches and the like that our garden supports... we've even had some nuthatches lately...

Wow, I don't know what that bird is, but it IS an awesome thing to find on your fence. All we seem to get around my area is sparrows, blackbirds and starlings.

My old avatar was the biohazard sign, because I replaced the radioactive logo in W:A's icon with the biohazard one (similar yet different meaning):

So I decided to stick with that logo for a while.

The current one is Haunter (from an old ROM of a Pokémon game), repalletized for these forums. He looks a bit like a shadow, no? :)

I'm too lazy and uncreative to make a permanent, awesome avatar that would represent my personality. So I guess I'll cycle mediocre ones for now.

People seem to be really split on this one. Personally, I can't help but hear "some", but others say that it isn't there. Shmorky's description includes "some", and the sentence doesn't really make sense without it.

Ed Webb's been in the community for years, he deserves to be allowed in here.

others say that it isn't there.

Then others are wrong.

People seem to be really split on this one. Personally, I can't help but hear "some", but others say that it isn't there. Shmorky's description includes "some", and the sentence doesn't really make sense without it.There are 8 syllables in the sentence in total. You may have heard syllable 6, 7, and 8 as "some dongos".

1 "I"
2 "can't"
3 "wait"
4 "to"

5 "bomb"
6 "do" / "some"
7 "don"
8 "gos."

If you think he's saying "some" on syllable 6, then you read "dodongos" incorrectly. There are 3 syllables in "do-don-gos". You read it incorrectly as "don-gos". The creatures in the Zelda games are "dodongos", not "dongos".

...I thought it was pretty obvious that he's saying "I can't wait to bomb the dodongos."

That would still be more than 8 syllables, which would obviously be wrong. How could you possibly be hearing 9 syllables?

I'm telling you, I'm hearing a "the" in there. If we're not certain of what words are being used at all, how are we certain of how many syllables there are?

If what I'm hearing isn't "the," then the first syllable of "dodongo" is repeated in the remixing for some reason. But I'm very certain I'm hearing "the."

I am definitely not hearing anything like "some," either way.

"We" are certain about the number of syllables by being percussively-inclined. It is quite obvious to me, who has a self-proclaimed good sense of rhythm, that there are 8 beats there, and one syllable per beat. Do you count 9 beats, or do you count 8 beats with one of the beats having more than one syllable? Either way, that would throw off the extreme catchiness of the line, which is obviously there. You may be subconsciously injecting that syllable without really listening intently. Are you doing that?

No, I'm definitely listening intently.

Seriously. Just think the phrase "I can't wait to bomb the dodongos" in your head. Get a good grasp on it. Load up that animation and listen very closely.

The "the" is very quick, which is probably why you're not picking it up as a syllable. This is so it fits.

He definately says "the". You can tell by Link's lip sync, if you look.

I have just recorded the sound and sliced it into 8 parts, each clearly depicting one syllable, each lasting exactly 0.25 seconds; the entire sample lasting exactly 2 seconds. The sample is played at exactly 128 beats per minute, and I loaded up Fruity Loops Slicer and made a fun loop out of it, at exactly 128 beats per minute, with eight (8) slices total, each slice containing one (1) syllable. I have saved the sliced sample in a folder and rendered my fun loop to wav and saved it on my computer. There are exactly 8 beats in the sample, each containing 1 syllable. There is no "the" or "some" or any other word said than "I", "can't", "wait", "to", "bomb", or "dodongos".

Shmorky did not record the sample, nor did he create the song. He is wrong in his description, and is possibly wrong in his attempt at lip synchronization.

You may find the sliced 8-beat sample here: http://lex.clansfx.co.uk/Media/Requested/Dodongo%20Bombing/8%20syllables.wav
You may find my loop created from the sliced 8-beat sample here: http://lex.clansfx.co.uk/Media/Requested/Dodongo%20Bombing/Dodongo%20Loop.wav

Edit: After listening to my sliced wav in Adobe Audition several times over and watching the volume meter very closely as well as looking at the height of the waves during playback of slice 6, I have noticed a very slight volume decrease in the middle of slice 6, which could, possibly, make slice 6 be interpreted as "the do" said extremely quickly. I doubt, however, that the original voice actor said that so quickly, as voice actors which such a percussive tendancy (the syllables are each exactly 0.25 seconds, perfectly!) tend to avoid slurring words at such a magnitude.

Question: Who the hell cares? :p

To Pigbuster: Please for the love of god change your avatar. IT'S GIVING ME BAD DREAMS!

In further attempts at being silly, I have made a voice recording of myself saying "I can't wait to bomb the dodongos." in 8 beats several times, once in 9 beats, and then something completely irrelevant for my own amusement.

I've encoded it to an mp3 file of a constant bitrate of 192kbps for your downloading pleasure.

By the way, this is proof that you have convinced me of the possibility of the original voice actor having injected "the" into beat 6. I realize nobody may care. This has been a fun learning experience, and I've learned about the slicing threshold in the Fruity Slicer, at least.

Not for me.

You'll be randomly paired with a partner who's online and using the feature. Over a 90-second period, you and your partner will be shown the same set of images and asked to provide as many labels as possible to describe each image you see. When your label matches your partner's label, you'll earn some points and move on to the next image until time runs out. After time expires, you can explore the images you've seen and the websites where those images were found. And we'll show you the points you've earned throughout the session.

It's weird. A little game that gives images new keywords.

I want it so bleeping much. Beep me, that bleeping game looks the bleezznit.

The non-linearity of it is a tad disorienting, but I'm quite enjoying it.

I would really like to know why, instead of just forcing them to stop, Square-Enix didn't just approach the C:R team, and just offer to publish their work along with some of their games, like a bonus thing or something. I mean C:R was gonna be free anyway, they had nothing to loose, and could have profited from it.
Or something, meh.

C:R? Define your acronyms. :p

Ye olde edit: Hour 25 of MMZX just elapsed, and I just got the fourth and final Sub-Tank, which means I am ready to go ahead and beat the final boss dude, which is extremely exciting. I'm still missing four Secret Disks, though.

I guess it isn't that bad, I was just spouting out new shows. Well King Arthur's Disasters then, that's rather lame.

Also, what is it with new computer-made shows where the animators are so lazy that the characters actually "flip around" like they were paper-thin? Makes it look like some poorly made Flash.

What Scientology really is. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=GLnsBv6UQ-o)
Ooooooooooooooooooooookay....

Despite the description on that page, the episode wasn't actually banned because of bloodthirsty Scientologists -- it was because it had a very blunt "coming out of the closet" joke aimed at Tom Cruise, who is apparently well known for defending his image. Apparently he sent in a legal threat or something of the sort, and that was that.

I do have to wonder how accurate their descriptionof Scientology is there, though. It may say "THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE", but you have to remember it's South Park you're watching. :p

It's actually all canon, taken directly from the writings of L. Ron Hubbard. Believe it or not.

I just finished Cave Story a while ago, for the first time ever. :p

True finish, or regular finish? You haven't seen anything if you haven't played through Hell yet. :p

Regular. I still have no clue how to get to Hell.

I posted a complete guide to it in the now-dead Cave Story thread, if you feel like looking it up.

Oooooh, there was a Cave Story thread!? Ha. I've beaten Cave Story all the way through 5 times. :)

When that thread was current I played through the regular game but got stuck on the final boss.

A couple of months ago I tried again, but this time with a joypad. I'm currently stuck in hell.:p

Hell took me over 100 times to beat the first time. Ballos is hard, and that part just before the huge thing falls down and smashes through the ground is really hard. :eek: Yeah, it's great though. :) Cave story is the best platformer I've ever played, like I've said before.

HA. I beat the game, got one of the secret title screens AND Curly's underwear.
And I slept with Chaco.
OH YEAH.
:p

Regular. I still have no clue how to get to Hell.
It's really obscure. I don't know how people genuinely got it, really.
You have to skip talking to Booster. (Jump over the pit by jumping right at the red line in the ground.)
Then you have to save Curly brace by getting the tow cable in the core room before you fight the core. It's in the bottom right.

Then you have to attach Curly to yourself and make it into the secret cabin in the waterway. Then, make sure you don't leave until she's drained of water and you have her attached again.

Then talk to Chtultu and Curly in the Plantation to get the bond thing, which I think signifies that you will definately get the secret ending. (Make sure to enter the door when you're running back with Sue after the Undead Core.)


Also, while we're on the subject, I recently learned where Quote( " ) and Curly Brace( { )'s names came from.
That means that Bracket( [ ) is out there somewhere.

Don't forget that thing with the mushroom.

It took me ages to work out that you had to look at the mushroom badge in the inventory a few times before talking to it again.

Is this all just a giant ****-take? Because it sounds like it to someone who doesn't know what you're all talking about.

Nope, that's all authentic.

As a side note, for completintaatjsdf oh od damn it my between F and H key isn't workin. And this keyboard's supposed to be ueranteed or some crap. Whatever.

Anyway, as a side note for completin' and findin' everythin' in MMZX, it has rewarded me with what can only be described as the ultimate treat for the Zero fan.

Okay, it can also be described as "power trip," "whoa" and "awesome."

Thanks, tho I had already read MFAH's post on the Cavestory thread and then Zero's post, which was a bit less informative, and also got to hell, by the time you wrote the post. :p
Now, I must say, Hell is way too easy. NOT! :mad: :(

Let me just say that if you didn't save your heart jar thing or pick up the spare from the dog halfway up the rocket-powered lift earlier on, you haven't got a snowball's chance in where you are right now of beating Ballos. :p

I have the thing and full hearth at the save point. :D
And still can't get anywhere D:
So, how do all that people finish it with minimal items and 3 health points, exactly? :p

I'd be incredibly lucky if I could possibly finish the game normally with 3 HP. Finishing the Hell run like that? Hah.

I keep getting killed during the fight with the giant thwomp thing. The boss' atacks are really easy to avoid, but i keep getting hit by those anoying moving round things. And the cherubs. bloody cherubs.

You know, I completely forgot about the heart jar.

Yeah I easily forgot about the jar too. It's the kind of thing that you save for last until you don't notice you're already on last. :p

Also, this is bizarre: http://www.neave.tv/#drink_moving

Meh Ballos was easy. The first time I got to him I got to the third form and got killed, but I could have killed it if I hadn't panicked, I tought there was one more from left, if I had know it was the last one I would have spammed him up with missiles and finished him up. The second time, I killed him, expecting to find a 4th form, but that was it Oo. Great ending.
edit: 7'35"1... :(
edit: Nevermind me, he does have 4 forms, my mind just kept seein the second and third one as the same form. So I did got to the fourth one on my first try. :p

Not the lone one.
Because a smart fox knows that this one could be rigged with a stick of dynamite (the reason whyit is shunned by the rest of the sheep).

Ahh this is getting crazy - 3 times now in the space of about 5 mins it has gone extremely loud. Currently I'm typing with my right hand and slowing the fan with my left...Usually when it does that I just smack my computer around and it shuts it up.

Starworms, do you mean the small 40x40mm fan on your motherboards northbridge?

If so, immediately turn off your computer, go to the next computer hardware shop and buy a 40x40mm aluminium heatsink (which normally includes some heat sink paste) and remove that damn fan.

Such small fans have an extremely high rotation to get enough air flow (~6,000 per minute), which produces much more noise than a larger fan with a lower rotation.
These makes them much more error prone.

My northbridge fan died last spring, which resulted in a complete hardware failure with a nasty 48GB of data loss.

Surely your board should have shut down due to the temperature? It's not an ECS, is it? ;)

PCGamer UK reviewed these.

It has a range of approximately 5 metres, and requires 3xAA batteries.

It's also available from Aria (http://www.aria.co.uk).

The article itself was very funny, since it constantly used army terminology, amongst other missile references.

The launcher got 83%. They said that, if you're in a "war zone", it's a vital purchase, despite, if "your gaming nation is invaded by a human-powered Nerf Gun-wielding strike force", you'll run out of battery power, and that, "in the event that your desk is set upon by airborne ninjas from all sides", it won't be able to rearm, reaim and refire in time.

By the way, sorry I haven't been around. My 19th came and went, and I had to game until my eyes popped out of my head through tiredness.

Has your brain recently attempted to be cool? Has it bought itself a toupée?

In short, is it going through a mid-life crisis?

If no, then it's a good thing. If yes, then it's a very very bad thing.

Waaah batteries! D:
I still wants it. :(

Y'all know, my birthday's comming soon... *wink wink*

:P

Edit: Screw that, this one's better :p http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=23946

If yes, then it's a very very bad thing.Well, he could use that to justify buying a nice car.

...You know, if a bunch of money just fell out of the sky or something.

Does anyone know of a program where I can replace a certain bit of text with another bit of text. The catch being that I need it to replace more than 1 line of text so MS Word won't cut it.

Sounds like you need to make a buffer overflow..

I love the pathetic NERD RAGE in the comments.

Oh please. This is what SomethingAwful considers to be "comedy gold"? That's funny in of itself.
Lowtax will have to ban quite a few people to boost his ego after this pathetic display.
Lowtax is a punk. may be he will shut the **** up now?
Everyone thought he was going to get his ass kicked, not knowing how badass Uwe Boll is. I ****ing hate Lowtax.
Lowfag got owned. On SA forums he gets all *****y saying that it was supposed to be a PR stunt. Well no **** Einstein, now not only is Uwe Boll more well known, hes the guy who beat your ass at twice your age.

Starworms, do you mean the small 40x40mm fan on your motherboards northbridge?It's the big fan. It's been fine today.

Sounds like you need to make a buffer overflow..I found out how to do it anyway.

According to the game Brain Age, my brain is in it's 50's.
Not too sure if that's a good or bad thing.:p
I was able to get down to my 20s.
I haven't played it in a long while, though.

7 Hours into the game, I'm at the last level on megaman ZX. OOOOHHH I hope this will be awesome.:D

It will, yes.

The music is bangin'.

By the way, Hard Mode is imfreakin'possible. There are no life-ups or sub-tanks.

I love the pathetic NERD RAGE in the comments.

You mean Uwe Boll...

BEAT SOMEONE?!

I thought that he was more... what's that fat kid in the Simpson's name? The German. We'll call him Deitrich.

I thought Uwe was more Deitrich than Wolfcastle.

Unless Lowtax was a skinny, nerdy wimp.

Hopefully, someone'll kick Boll's ass.

A big fat german he may be , but he is unfortunately a big fat german with professional boxing training.

Lowtax gave up after round 1. Why? According to him, Uwe promised to train him, didn't, then said he'd go easy on him, and didn't. So Rich decided that was enough. Still, he could have done it without prancing about so much in the ring.

My goal for the next month is to get $2,000, not including the money I get from work.

I'm fairly sure most of you are overlooking Lowtax's goal.

The guy is a big fat stupid bully idiot. Lowtax drove that point home to countless people. He accomplished it with flying colors.

Hmmm. My broken computer was sent with a friend of my dad to fix it. So my dad's friend had some guy that works with him handle it. So due to me wasting my free time sleeping, playing doukutsu and on that acrobacies class, I was entirely unnatached to this project. Turns out he's already ordered a new motherboard and processor. Oh and a new case... for some reason.
Well, I went with him to pick the stuff up, the processor is a Pentium 4 d 2.6ghz, and the motherboard is... well... a motherboard. I have no idea of the details of it. I have no clue why he decided for a new case if the previous one was quite... undamaged. Now he'll just put the parts togheter and leave us with a usable pc again tho.

Also, I'm not quite sure if it was left in the right hands tough, when I asked him about the graphics card, he just said "Oh, there's no need for that, the motherboard has one built in"...
Er....

Or at least I always do, since I don't think it's possible to remove the motherboard (or it's a whole lot of trouble). Plus by the time I upgrade the motherboard, there's no way the new one will fit properly on the old case.

Also, I'm not quite sure if it was left in the right hands tough, when I asked him about the graphics card, he just said "Oh, there's no need for that, the motherboard has one built in"...
Er....They do. Motherboards these days have built-in graphics card, sound card, LAN, etc. Of course usually they outright suck, and if you wanna get any real game running you'll need to buy a proper one, but hey, it's cheap and usable. :p

Why are you upset about Opera on Wii?

I know motherboards do come with built in graphics card, I just don't think that's what you answer when someone asks about what graphics card it'll be using.

Why are you upset about Opera on Wii?I'm upset that it won't be free forever. Not that I care, really, but I gotta be outraged nontheless.

Wow.

My god, is there a point?

Some Jehova's witnesses just stopped by my door. :eek:

I'm too polite to just close the door in their face, so I got left with "Watchtower: Are we living in 'THE LAST DAYS'?" and "Awake!: Is There a CREATOR?"

Whee.

I'm scared to read them for the Christian-ness.
And I'm a christian.

This is what you should've done: http://youtube.com/watch?v=femiZ1S7eCo

Jehovah's Witnesses are the only christians I have any respect for anymore. :p
Also, I think that video is fake. :p


http://youtube.com/watch?v=b-DpgBK1q_k : SuperMan wants some. ;)

I once ran into a Jehovah's Witness, problem is, it was while I was out doing errands, so I didn't have a door to shove on her face. Sneaky basts. :p
